Reindeer Spa Day

|

All of the post-Christmas cleanup and debriefing was finally done, and Santa was treating his reindeer to a day at the spa. It was a full day of sauna, massage, herbal wraps, and hoof polishing. The spa even offered a full bath if anyone was interested. The reindeer weren’t too sure about the idea. They were alpha-male athletes and didn’t want anyone to get the idea that they were pampered princes.

Santa: I booked you all for a day tomorrow at Glinda’s Sauna and Day Spa. Is everyone coming?

Dasher: I don’t know, boss. We’re hard-working pack animals. I’m not sure spas fit with the image.

Comet: What if some kid sees us dripping with seaweed?

Santa: It’s the North Pole. No children live up here.

Blitzen: I think it sounds great. We do a really stressful job. We deserve to relax.

The next day, everyone arrive at 9 am.

Glinda: Hello, boys. Welcome to Glinda’s. We have a special day planned for you: sauna, deep muscle massage, seaweed wrap, more sauna, and a quick roll in the snow.

Donner: I think I’ll skip the sauna. I have a lot of fur.

The other reindeer nodded. They didn’t want to ruin the day by passing out in the heat.

Glinda: I hadn’t really thought about the fur. The elves love it. And we occasionally get humans who like it too. Let’s get you ready for your massage.

She led them to a room with a row of tables. Each reindeer laid on a table and closed his eyes. They heard soft music and felt strong hands massaging their backs.

Vixen: Do you guys hear anything?

Dancer: Yes, silly. They’re playing music.

relaxing reindeer

Vixen: No. Like someone moving around.

Dancer: Of course someone’s moving around. We’re getting massages. Just close your eyes and relax.

Vixen: I guess. Maybe I need this more than I thought.

The reindeer were feeling very relaxed. 

Glinda: Okay, everyone. Time for a quick shower before your seaweed wrap.

Prancer: What’s a shower?

Comet: It’s like a bath, but they dump water on you.

Prancer: That sounds extremely unpleasant. I think I’ll skip that.

Glinda: It’s warm water that comes out of a spray. It’s not like having cold water dumped on you.

Surprisingly, the reindeer all enjoyed the shower. 

Glinda: Shake off the excess water and follow me. It’s time for your wraps. Because of the fur, we’re going to use mud and warm towels. You’re going to relax for 45 minutes. Your fur will look amazing.

She led them back to the tables where each reindeer was covered in mud and then wrapped up.They closed their eyes and felt something being gently massaged into their faces.

Blitzen: I was right. This is wonderful.

Dasher: It is rather pleasant.

Vixen: Can you hear it this time?

Donner: What are you talking about?

Vixen: I think there’s someone in here with us.

Comet: There’s a lot of folks in here.

Vixen: No. someone who isn’t with the staff or with us.

Shaggy deer

Cupid: Just relax and enjoy the feeling.

Vixen: I guess. It just feels weird.

Glinda: Time to unwrap. Let’s see how you look. How do you feel?

Blitzen: I feel great, but I need to get the mud out of my fur.

Glinda pointed to toward the door, and the reindeer went out and rolled in the snow.

Comet: My fur is so soft.

Prancer: And you look better too.

Glinda: Everyone back into the hoof salon. Time for trimming and buffing.

Soon the reindeer were finished and walked home. Their muscles were relaxed, their fur was silky, and their hooves were trimmed. It had been a good day. That night, Dancer looked at the news. The top story was Exclusive:How Santa’s Reindeer Relax. It was full of pictures of the reindeer with Glinda. Vixen was right: someone had gotten in and taken a lot of pictures.

The Cats’ Spa Day

Expert Cat Grooming Feline Exclusive Services in Granger, IN | Gordon's Grooming

Today we are joining the lucky kitties who won the spa day at the Cheeseland Rummage Sale. Gypsy is with Leo and Ophelia at the counter of Ruth’s Premier Salon & Day Spa.

Gypsy: Hi guys. Looks like you couldn’t wait to get your spa day.

Ophelia: We are so excited. Neither of us has ever done anything like this.

Leo: I just hope they’re ready for a couple of Maine Coons. We are bigger than the average cat.

Ophelia: Don’t be silly. They have dog clients too. We can’t possibly be bigger than the dogs who come in here.

The Symbolism of the Irish Wolfhound: Explore the Magical

Leo: That’s true. Although the website did say that they have “spaces” for animals of many sizes. And the pictured cats all look to be her size. (He points at Gypsy.)

Gypsy: I’m sure they wouldn’t have given out a prize that you can’t use. Let’s ask the receptionist. She just came back.

The receptionist is a very elegant Irish Wolfhound.

Gypsy: Good morning, Giselle. Are you well?

Giselle: Very well, thank you. Who are these beautiful kitties?

Gypsy: This is Ophelia and Leo. They won the spa day at the Rummage Sale.

Giselle: How wonderful! Let me tell you about your day. You will start with a light snack of salmon mousse and spring water. That will be followed by a gentle body massage. You will spend time in the sauna, followed by a quick dip in the pool before facials to energize your skin for more luxurious facial fur. Then it’s another light snack, followed by a full body massage. You will end with an all-over grooming session.

Ophelia: Ooh. That sounds wonderful!

Leo: Are to able to handle bigger kitties like us?

Giselle comes out from behind the counter and looks closely at the cats. Tipping the scales at 95 pounds herself, she is not a good judge of smaller animals. She is much larger than either of them.

Giselle: We certainly can handle the size. I use the facility myself. However, you are definitely larger than our standard cat client. We normally don’t mix our cat and dog clients. Let me check with someone.

Giselle disappears into the back. Ophelia looks at Gypsy.

Ophelia: Can we get our money back if they can’t take us?

Leo: Don’t worry yet. Let’s see what she finds out.

Giselle comes out with a large tabby.

Giselle: This is Max. He can help you.

Leo: Are we too big for the cat spa?

Max looks them over, then looks at his phone.

Max: Absolutely not. Follow me.

Once they’re inside the spa, he whispers.

Max: I don’t know why they put her out there. Excellent worker, terrible communication skills. You will love it here.

Ophelia and Leo were extremely relaxed after the snack and light massage. Max took them to the sauna next.

Leo: I’m not sure this is a good idea. We have a lot of fur.

Max: You will love the way you feel. It really opens up your pores. When you jump in the pool afterwards, you will really feel refreshed. Or you can skip the water. Some cats really don’t like water.

Ophelia: This really seems like a human thing. It doesn’t sound good for anyone covered in fur. Do animals really enjoy it?

Max: Honestly, I don’t know. We opened it a few weeks ago, and no one has chosen to use it. We’re certainly not going to force you. Would you like to skip the pool as well.

Leo: Oh, no. We love water.

Ophelia and Leo jump into the pool and play around for several minutes. They shake off the water and follow Max to their facials. They are seated next to each other. The door opens, and they hear a voice behind them.

Voice: Hello. My name is Erin, and I will be doing your facials this morning. Just sit back, close your eyes, and relax.

Ophelia and Leo settle in. Ophelia hears a loud splat. She opens her eyes just as the second splat lands on her face.

Ophelia: Eww! What are you doing?

Erin: You’re getting a yogurt and seaweed facial. It’s the latest thing, and your face will look amazing.

Leo: And it tastes pretty good too.

Ophelia: You know our faces are covered with fur, right?

Erin: Of course. Just relax and let me massage it all over your face. You won’t believe how soft your fur will be.

Ophelia tried to relax. The massaging did feel good. But she really didn’t;t like her fur feeling gooey. Leo began purring. Obviously, he wasn’t concerned about the mess in his fur.

Erin: Okay. Now we leave the masque on for 20 minutes to let it do its magic. Most kitties sleep through it.

Leo: That sounds like a good idea.

Ophelia tried not to touch her face. Finally she relaxed and took a nap. Next thing they knew, Erin was back pouring something into a bowl. It smelled nice, like mint.

Erin: Now I’m going to put a warm, wet towel on your faces to soften the masque.

Ophelia and Leo were too relaxed to care and the towel felt good.

Erin: That’s good. Now for a quick rinse with spring water followed by a quick massage.

Both Leo and Ophelia felt great and a quick look in the mirror showed that their facial fur looked wonderful. They had another quick snack followed by a full body massage. Afterwards, they were joined by Max.

Max: How’s it going? Enjoying your day?

Ophelia: Oh yes, it’s been amazing. I don’t remember the last time I felt so pampered.

Leo: Me too. This is great.

Max: I’m glad to hear that. Your final stop is with the groomers. It’s a quick bath with shampoo and fur conditioner, a little trim, and a manicure for all paws. Finally, a warm, dry towel to make sure you are picture perfect.

Gypsy had been waiting in the lobby to get “after” shots of the freshly groomed pair. Suddenly she heard loud hissing and growling. Ophelia and Leo came running out.

Ophelia: You said “a little trim. This is not a little trim.

Leo: It certainly is not. You butchered my fur. You’re lucky I didn’t pay for this. We are never coming back.

Gypsy looked at them and tried not to laugh.

Get a Job! Cats in the Workforce

Man Trying To Work From Home Gets Constantly Interrupted By His Cat, Tricks It Into Being Calm By Placing A Box On His Desk | Bored Panda

We are very excited that our Mom has finally gotten a new job! She’ll be working days and only has to work one job to support us in our accustomed lifestyle. In honor of that, we decided to look at cats with jobs. As you know, lots of cats have jobs. We add class and sophistication to many places. Basically, there are two major types of employed kitties: “Office Cats” and “Working Cats”. (Mom says she’ll be “working” in an “office,” so we’re a little confused about where she would fit in this post.)

Why do cats purr? | International Cat Care

Personally, we have no desire to work outside the home. However, there are many kitties in shelters who would be wonderful additions to an office. Among the advantages of having an office cat:

We are calming – Petting cats is known to lower human stress levels. Our purring is therapeutic. What could be better than having a cute ball of fur to stroke during a stressful day? Just seeing our furry little faces makes people smile.

Microsoft Teams ar Twitter: "@hobiehenning Hey Hobie, it looks like this is the PAWfect spot for an afternoon nap during a Teams meeting! What is your cat's name?" / Twitter

We encourage teamwork – Having an office kitty is a team project. Even if one person is mainly responsible, everyone comes together to take care of the office cat. Who can resist a non-judgmental teammate?

We help prevent burnout – People are encouraged to take short breaks when the office cat comes by wanting attention. Or it’s a good excuse to get up from your desk if you’re struggling with a problem. Short breaks have been proven to help workers recharge and refocus. And we can help type.

So, Should You Be Bringing Your Cat To Work? | Hive

We increase morale – Helping kitties makes humans feel better about themselves. And keeping us out of the shelter is definitely helping.

Of course, just like humans not all kitties belong in offices. In fact, some kitties would just as soon not be around people. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t excellent workers.

Shelter Offers “Unadoptable” Feral Cats to Hunt Rats for Warehouses, Neighborhoods With Huge Success

Working cats are experts in vermin control – They find jobs in barns, warehouses, corporate campuses, plant nurseries, wineries, and other places where rodents and other pests are a problem. Working cats also get jobs in stores and churches, although sometimes those require more socialized kitties.

Cat Forum: A Day at the Spa

|

Image result for relaxed cat

Greetings. Snoops and Kommando here. Thanks for joining us here for this month’s Cat Forum. Today we’re looking at the important issue of how you can de-stress after a hard day of supervising the neighborhood, hunting, and looking for the perfect napping spot.

Image result for cat massage

One of the best ways to relax is to get a massage. Some cats find a human to do this. If you are looking for a human, you need one who uses their whole hand. It feels like extremely good cuddles.

Some humans use their fingertips. They call it acupressure; we call it prodding. However, many cats report that after the prodding, they do feel a lot better.

Image result for cat massage

We prefer a cat-to-cat massage. No one knows where our stress points are better than another cat. And when they’re done, you don’t need to worry about being dumped on the sofa afterwards. You can just relax and take a nap.

Image result for catnip meme

Some of you say ‘nip is relaxing. We don’t want to recommend it here, because it excites as many kitties as it relaxes. Of course, most kitties do fall asleep after the excitement. So, it probably is relaxing.

Image result for catnip meme

If you do choose to relax with ‘nip, make sure you get it from a reliable trader. Some cats have reported finding oregano and other herbs mixed in. That is definitely not relaxing.

A couple of good, long stretches are good for relaxing. Remember to hold the stretch momentarily to get the most out of it. If you are an active hunter, you may associate stretching with hunting. In that case, we do not recommend trying to relax this way.

Image result for cat listening to music

Some kitties like to relax with music. We recommend something in the classical realm, with lots of soothing strings or piano. Do not listen to that current human music with the loud crashes and human yowling. It will cause you more stress than you currently have.

Image result for cats chasing each other meme

If the source of your stress is a housemate, there are two ways to deal with it. Our preferred method is to chase them out of the area. Not only will the running help you de-stress, you no longer have to deal with the source of the stress.

The other alternative is to find a quiet space of your own. However, if you’re stressed because someone has invaded your quiet spot, you’ll need to have several back-ups. Pests can usually find you.

Image result for cats napping

 Last, but not least, is a nice, long nap in a warm spot. We recommend a blanket, a sunny spot, in front of a fire, or in your bed. Do not use a human lap. Just about the time you get settled in, they will decide it’s time for a snack.

Talking about all of this relaxation is making us sleepy. Purrs and snuggles from Cat Forum.
